Rain ~ Turkeys ~ Bruiser The Climber ~ Joe Kirk ~ Homemade Vegetable Pork Soup



Good 45º foggy cloudy morning.
Yesterday the rain started up again in the morning and continued on and off .... we got another 3/4"of rain.


It came down hard at times and the turkeys were trying to take cover under bushes... but their skills at that are sadly lacking!


Bruiser got bored so he went "climbing" on top of the cabinet with Jerry's movie star hat collection on top....
^ That is the hat, with fake sweat, worn by Steve McQueen in Tom Horn.

Today is a special birthday.... Joe Kirk (LASD ret). HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!!

February 4th
National Homemade Soup Day

OK, so yesterday with all the gloom and rain I decided to make soup, one day ahead. I had a tray of mixed veggies (carrots, broccoli, cabbage, red onion, red/green bell pepper, mushrooms, and slices of summer & zucchini squash...  Broccoli slaw, bacon crumbles, celery, and cream of chicken soup:

... also chicken stock, pulled pork (from Costco...sooooo good, just pork and water) and fine (angel hair pasta size) egg noodles...

First I sauteéd the broccoli slaw and celery in olive oil with garlic salt.. then dumped that in the pot with 3 1qt. containers of chicken stock..

Next I sauteéd the bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms and into the pot they went.

Next I added in the rest of the veggie tray and the pulled pork ... cooked and drained the noodles and added them.


I set the pot on medium heat and left it for an hour, adding in the cream of chicken soup after an hour and resetting the heat to low until I was ready to eat.

WOW, great soup!!!!
